Everton's new centre-back Ramiro Funes Mori says he is confident of learning how to contain the Premier League's "skilful" strikers.
The 24-year-old completed a £9.5m move from Argentina's River Plate on transfer deadline day and is in line to make his Toffees debut when he returns from international duty next week.
He says he has been watching the Premier League for many years and backs himself to become one of the division's best defenders.
"Since I was a kid I've been watching the Premier League and it's the best league in the world," Mori said.
"There are lots of very big players who have played in this league – very important players like Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, and a lot of others. To follow their steps is fantastic.
"It's a very intense league and dynamic. It's a high level of competition all over the pitch. Obviously I'll have to adapt to that, but it shouldn't take too long.
"I'm looking forward to testing myself against the attackers in the league. The strikers are very strong, very skilful and I will have to be concentrating all the time to do my best to stop them and help the team.
"I am excited and hopefully I can win many things here."
Mori is currently on international duty with Argentina, who face Bolivia and then Mexico in two friendlies on September 5 and September 9.
